How Not to Speak to Memorial Day

In our services Sunday, we acknowledged the sacrifice of those who have died in service to our nation--the point of Memorial Day. Politicians took advantage of the day to speak as well. However, not all of them did well. This blog entry on Powerline shows the strange take of one of our presidential candidates, Barack Obama. It was not a good speech, in my view, and raises many of the questions I have about his ability to fill this role. At the end of the blog is a link to see the President's speech, which was actually quite eloquent and definitely non-partisan. Just to be fair, I plan to highlight positives and negatives as I see them from all sides in the future.
